Why do people love villains more than heroes nowadays? In this video, we explore the rising popularity of villains and anti-heroes in movies and pop culture. From Thanos and Joker to Kabir Singh, Marco, and Animal, today’s villains are more complex, powerful, and sometimes even relatable. But the real question is - why are villains so attractive?
We’ll dive deep into the psychological reasons to love villains, how audiences, especially women, are showing more attraction towards grey characters, and why movies like 365 Days have become popular among female viewers. It’s not just about power or rebellion - there’s something deeper going on. Villains often represent suppressed emotions, rebellion against norms, or a bold version of freedom that many people subconsciously connect with.
Through characters like Shahrukh Khan as a villain in Baazigar, Thanos from Marvel, and other super villains, we analyze why villains are becoming more popular than heroes. We’ll also discuss why villains are more interesting, why some villains seem stronger than heroes, and how modern storytelling has blurred the lines between good and evil.
Whether it’s the charm of a grey character, the unpredictability of a villain vs villain battle, or the rise of the anti-hero, one thing is clear villains today are not just bad guys. They are layered, emotional, and sometimes more human than the heroes themselves.
Join us as we take references from movies where villains win, or where the villain was actually right. From Bollywood villains to Hollywood villains, we’ll see how this trend is reshaping cinema.
